Hurley back in Cork squad, Turbitt to start for Armagh

CORK CAPTAIN BRIAN Hurley returns from injury and is on the bench as the Rebels face Kerry at Páirc Úi Chaoimh on Saturday at 4,45pm (GAA+).

Sean Brady is also included among the subs for the SFC Group 2 Round 2 clash. He missed last weekend’s loss to Meath in Navan after being red-carded against Kerry last month in the Munster semi-final, a game which Cork lost after extra-time.
